Yamaha DX21

A consumer level DX synth that sounds just like the DX100 - thin and brittle. Following the DX model
this synth also uses FM synthesis which is difficult to master. You will
need to program this synth to get better sounds because the presets are
only moderately useful. It's capable of a good string, bass and
droney-pad sound as well as industrial sound-effects and metallic like
sounds.

Still it makes a better option than a DX27 or DX100 because it has the
capability of layers and splitting the keyboard and there is a chorus
effect. Portamento and a Unison Mono-Mode are also nice features for
screaming lead synth performances. For a cheaper source of DX sounds
with moderate programmability, check out the DX21. It's been used by
Hardfloor, Level 42, Brother Beyond, Astral Projection, Technotronic,
Vangelis, and Norman Cook (Fat Boy Slim).
